Drinking three cups of coffee a day 'reduces risk of heart disease'

Three cups of coffee is good for your heart, new study claimsDrinking three cups of coffee a day can dramatically decrease the risk of heart disease , according to new research.Scientists claim the caffeine brew is full of antioxidants which protect the brain and heart.The latest findings pooled the data of more than one million people and found women, in particular, appear to benefit most from coffee's heart boosting effects.However, the British Heart Foundation said the study by the Institute for Scientific Information on Coffee should not be taken as a "green light" to down lots of the stuff.

Eating a Mediterranean diet 'could help lower risk of heart disease' in Britons

Eating a Mediterranean diet 'could help lower risk of heart disease' in Britons

Britons who eat a Mediterranean diet could significantly lower their risk of developing heart disease, according to new research.Scientists found healthy people who ate more foods associated with a Mediterranean-style diet were up to 16 per cent less likely to have cardiovascular disease than those who did not.The study, published in the journal BMC Medicine and which was the first of its kind to analyse the benefits of the diet in Britons, also found eating Mediterranean-style could decrease the risk of a heart attack or stroke.Around 12.5 per cent of cardiovascular deaths in the UK could potentially be avoided if British people switched to a Mediterranean diet, Dr Nita Forouhi, lead author from the Medical Research Council Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge, said.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and risk of heart failure in four European countries: nested case-control study

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and risk of heart failure in four European countries: nested case-control study

Our study did not find that celecoxib, the most widely prescribed selective COX 2 inhibitor, increases the risk of hospital admission for heart failure.Lack of statistical power is unlikely explain such lack of evidence, because our main analysis had 80% power to detect significant odd ratios as low as 1.08 for the current use of celecoxib.35 Celecoxib also did not show an increased heart failure risk when used at the highest doses, although power of our analysis was low for this dose class (about 30% power to detect significant odds ratios of 2.00).Furthermore, our study found little evidence that celecoxib is associated with a greater risk of heart failure than any of the other 26 considered individual NSAIDs.
